Can Anybody Explain

[rrich]

We were in Las Vegas this week.

Toward the end of Wednesday evening, I'm at a machine (Slot or Reels) with about $1.50 in credit. I'm thinking that when this is gone, I go upstairs to sleep.

SWMBO sits down at the machine next to me. "Oh, I'll put a dollar in while I wait for you." A bit later my $1.50 is gone. SWMBO takes over $7 out of the machine.

She does that all the time. Can anybody explain how or why?

Because she can!

Rule No 1: The female is always correct

Rule No 2: Refer to Rule No 1

(That is why I have a shed with toys and a beer fridge:q )

It's pretty obvious to me.

You're her good luck charm.

Can anybody explain how or why?

Yes. It is a well-known scientific fact that no matter which machine you play, the machine next to you will always make a payout. If you foolishly move to that machine, the one you were playing will now make a larger payout. The fact that it is your wife playing the machine doubles the chances for a payout and halves your chances for a win.

Like the morning sunrise and the inevitability of taxes, we just have to accept these things. :)

You always want what you can't have and can't get rid of what you've got. All those lousy rules/laws by Murphy etc are the same.
